: nuqneH! I just discovered the Klingon language list. I purchased
: my copy of the Klingon Dictionary only a few days ago, and am
: trying to learn the language. I translated the "Barney Song"
: into Klingon recently.... My syntax was a little bit questionable,
: however. Tonight I tried to translate parts of the Rocky Horror
: Picture Show into Klingon. I still need a LOT of work on my syntax,
: but Rocky Horror looks as if it might work well in Klingon. :-)
nuqneH, and great to see another tlhingan Hol jatlhwi'! I like the idea of
>nagh ghijghach cha'ghach<!
:
: I could find no word for purpose or meaning. Is it a case that
: such concepts do not exist in Klingon, or is it merely that
: they haven't made it in the dictionary.
:
: Here is a line: yIt yuQ qab yIH pang Human Segh.
: (walking on planet face, some tribbles
: named the human race. Ok, I might not have used
: the right suffixes. I do know I forgot to
: use the plural on Tribbles, but I can't go back up.)
yuQ ghorDaq yittaH Human Segh luponglu'bogh yiH'e'. (Dont worry about the
plurals, they aren't obligatory in Klingon.)
:
: Sovbe' PoH
: (not known in time)
PoHDaq luchillu'pu'. (see below)
: Sovbe' logh
: (not known in space)
: 'ej batlh
: (and honor)
loghDaq Hech[ghach]Daq luchillu'pu'.
:
: Since I could not find a word for meaning, I used honor.
: I used not known because I could not find a word for lost.
Try >chil<.
: Again, my Klingon is awful, but I am trying to learn.
: Any constructive criticism would be appreciated.
:
majQa'! biniDtaHchugh, nom biQaQqu'choHmoHbej!
: Rob Lent, aka Antiwolf, offender of Truth, Justice and the
: American Way!
:
: SoH bang jIH
: jIH bang SoH
Hate to rain on your parade, but bang isn't a verb...otherwise, I like it!
Try >bangwi' SoHtaH, bangli' jiHtaH<.
Qapla' Qichqemwi'vo'.
